People should avoid Wayland environments which use wlroots as the compositor

People should avoid Wayland environments which use wlroots as the compositor such as Sway, since wlroots adds many of X11 weaknesses back including the ability for apps to record each other without prompting for permission.

I was hoping to actually research this or come across someone else who has. Unfortunately nobody has really shown any examples of it, a blog article or anything really concrete examining how it compares to say GNOME or KDE.

Which of course something Iā€™d love to read.
